Chapter 604: Automatic Pickup

When the battle notification arrived, Jie Ming was standing at the edge of the flagship, watching the war of attrition on the front lines.

The lowest-level cannon fodder units, all at least sixth-rank, formed an unbreakable dam that firmly held back the Star Ring Federation’s billions-strong army.

He watched in fascination, his fingers unconsciously tracing the tactical coordination of those cannon fodder units.

Then Felix’s voice echoed across the entire void: “All units, attention. The enemy is about to enter firing range. Prepare… free fire.”

Jie Ming’s eyes lit up instantly.

He had not participated when the cannon fodder was first deployed.

After all, the high-rank wizards had summoned cannon fodder units that were at minimum sixth-rank, with the most numerous being seventh-rank, and even under suppression, there were still plenty of eighth-rank creatures.

In battles on that level, he truly had nothing worth showing off.

…But this time was different.

Detailed intelligence had already been issued through the magic network terminal, confirming that the enemy had committed their entire force.

That meant… it was time to collect the spoils!

The cross-spatial energy transmission system in his inner cave heaven instantly operated at full power.

In the Infernal Sulfur Plane, the seventh-rank large-scale elemental pool went into overdrive, pouring energy endlessly into his body through the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s cross-spatial transmission network.

The Fate Subsystem ran at maximum capacity, the golden light between his brows shining so brightly it was blinding.

Jie Ming raised his hand, and over ten thousand thumb-sized metal plates flew out from his cave heaven, spiraling, arranging, and combining above his head.

This was his “new version” of the Great Radiance Formation—an array composed of over ten thousand specially crafted wizard artifacts.

The metal plates unfolded in the void, forming a massive ring several hundred meters in diameter behind him.

The ring rotated slowly. Every metal plate emitted light, and those lights connected into one, forming a sacred yet ferocious halo above his head. The threatening aura it radiated made the surrounding wizards involuntarily turn their heads.

A sixth-rank wizard who was about to enter the battlefield glanced at the firepower halo, his eye twitching: “What the hell is that thing…” Just one look made his heart pound with fear; he suspected even he couldn’t withstand the destructive power of that monstrous thing!

Jie Ming paid no attention. His gaze had already locked onto the battlefield ahead.

There, the Myriad Realms Alliance’s army was pressing forward. The front ranks consisted of tens of millions of seventh-rank creatures, followed by dense tidal waves of sixth-rank creatures.

“Great Radiance Formation, activate.”

The ring blazed for an instant.

Then, thousands of light beams poured down like a violent rainstorm.

Each beam was a complete Trigram Fire Annihilation Divine Light. Under the analytical support of the Fate Subsystem and the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, every shot precisely locked onto its target.

One beam struck a seventh-rank starspace behemoth.

The giant beast was roaring as it charged toward the defensive line. The moment it was hit, its body began disintegrating from the point of impact.

Scales, muscles, bones, internal organs… layer after layer collapsed into fragments.

It didn’t even have time to scream before it turned into a puddle of minced flesh.

Another beam struck a sixth-rank energy aggregate.

The glowing sphere spun frantically, trying to expel the invading energy, but its resistance was futile.

After a slight pause, the energy aggregate exploded like a punctured balloon, fragments scattering in all directions.

The beams fell like rain. Wherever a beam landed, a high-rank creature was sure to die.

Jie Ming floated at the edge of the flagship’s protective barrier, careful not to cross that line.

He was still only fifth-rank and could not use law solidification to stably exist in the endlessly chaotic void.

If he rushed out recklessly, the mere tearing force of the void’s chaotic currents would be enough to overwhelm him.

So he obediently stayed behind the barrier, the firepower halo spinning above his head, outputting wildly like a fixed artillery emplacement.

Around him, several hundred black giant priests formed an airtight protective circle.

Their massive bodies had black liquid metal flowing slowly across their surfaces; any energy attack that tried to approach would be blocked by them. Molten Mountain was there too—its ten-thousand-meter-tall frame squatted at the edge of the flagship like a black mountain range, shielding Jie Ming from all threats coming from the flanks.

The beams continued to pour down.

Every second, thousands of beams shot out from the ring, and every second, thousands of high-rank creatures were killed.

Seventh-rank, sixth-rank, and occasionally a lone eighth-rank.

But eighth-rank targets were too tough; a single Trigram Fire Annihilation Divine Light only tickled them.

After trying a few times, Jie Ming wisely avoided them and focused his firepower on targets he could actually handle.

The surrounding sixth-rank wizards watched the constantly pouring firepower halo, their expressions shifting from shock to numbness.

A sixth-rank wizard from the Crimson Court muttered, “This guy is really only fifth-rank? Why do I feel like I couldn’t beat him…”

No one answered him.

Everyone was staring at the void that had been plowed through by the beams.

In that area, the Myriad Realms Alliance’s seventh- and sixth-rank creatures were being cleared out at a visible speed.

The creatures inside the zone were being killed in entire swaths.

While outputting, Jie Ming split off a portion of his spiritual power and attempted to apply the fate-type knowledge he had studied for many years.

At his current level, using fate-type knowledge in combat was purely asking for trouble.

But using it elsewhere was worth a try.

He locked onto a seventh-rank creature that had just been killed.

The giant beast’s body was drifting apart in the void, blood, shredded flesh, and energy residue mixing together to form a chaotic cloud of mist.

Jie Ming focused his attention on that cloud. The golden light on his forehead flared brightly, and he finally captured the causal lines lingering on it.

As the most direct existence responsible for killing this creature, Jie Ming quickly found the causal lines connected to himself within it and linked those lines to the pulling force of his inner cave heaven.

The cloud of mist trembled violently, then surged toward Jie Ming as if being sucked in by something.

Blood, shredded flesh, energy residue—everything rushed madly into his cave heaven through the forcibly established causal channel.

Inside the cave heaven, the black giant legion that had long been prepared let out excited roars.

The blood and flesh of these seventh-rank creatures were supreme supplements to them.

They pounced on the incoming flesh and blood, devouring it in great mouthfuls, reveling in the blood rain.

“Not bad.”

Jie Ming felt the effect and couldn’t help but smile. “Although it’s just an automatic loot pickup function, it works really well in this kind of environment.”

With experience, more causal lines were connected.

Jie Ming killed faster and faster, and absorbed faster and faster.

Every time he killed a creature, he immediately connected its remains to his cave heaven, sucking in all its energy and matter without wasting a single drop.

The instant those creatures disintegrated in the void, they were pulled away by the causal pulling force, not even given the chance to scatter.

A sixth-rank wizard from the Star Ring Federation couldn’t help but fly over. He looked at the firepower halo still madly outputting above Jie Ming’s head, then at the corpses and remains being sucked away by the causal pulling force. His mouth twitched. “Are you fighting a war or collecting scrap?”

“How can you call it scrap?” Jie Ming didn’t even turn his head. “These are all good stuff.”

The sixth-rank wizard fell silent.

The surrounding wizards took one look and quietly moved their attack ranges away from the area Jie Ming was bombarding.

This meant that, invisibly, they had placed Jie Ming on the same level as themselves and tacitly acknowledged that he had the same right to collect spoils.

Jie Ming could sense these changes, but he didn’t care about them right now. He only wanted to take advantage of this war to reap as much as possible.

Those pure energies and flesh were nourishment for the evolution of the black giant legion.

Inside the cave heaven, the black giants were reveling in the blood rain.

They devoured the surging flesh and blood in huge gulps. The liquid metal on their bodies churned wildly, their physiques expanded, and their auras climbed.

Those individuals stuck at the edge of a bottleneck began to break through after devouring large amounts of seventh-rank creature flesh and blood.

One after another, fifth-rank black giants advanced to sixth-rank. One after another, the auras of sixth-rank black giants grew deeper and more profound.

Jie Ming felt the feedback coming from the cave heaven, and the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

What a massive profit!
